' A'lti'emarl:abl6 Case'; 

A liii-go proportiou of tho American peo 

Slo arc to-diiy dying from tho oflects of 
yapepsia or disordered liver. The result 
of • tlicso discTses upon tho iiuissoa of 
intelligent and valuable people 's most 
alarming, m.aking life .letually a burden 
instead of a pleasant oxiKtencc of enjoy- 
ment and uBofulnesa as it ought to be. 
There is no good reason for this, if you 
will only throw aside prejutlice and skepti- 
cism, take tho advice of Druggist.s and 
your friends, and try one bottle of Green's 
Augu.st Flower. Your speedy relief i.« 
certain. Jlillions of bottles of tiiis medi- 
cine have been given away to try its 
virtues, witli satisfactory results in every 
oaue. You can buy a sample bottle for ,10 
cents to try. , Three dosea trill rolieve'tlje 
^worst case.; Positively sold by all Driig- 
'£^8ts/on the\\Yestent.G6ntinont; * 

' ;A Romarisa'blo Result. 

It makes no difl'ercnce how many Pliysi- 
cians, or how much medieino you have 
tried, it is now an cstabli.shed fact that 
German Syrup is tho only remedy which 
has ^'givon complete satisfaction in severe 
cases of-Lung Disease. ■ It is true there 
are yet thousands of persons wlio are pre- 
disposed to Tliroat and Linig Aflection.s, 
Consumplien, Heuiorriiages, Asthma, So- 
voro Colds settled on the 13re;ust, Pneu- 
monia, Whooping Cough, itc. , who h.avo 
no personal knowledge of Eoacheo's Ger- 
man Synip. To such wo would aay that 
60,000 dozen were sold last year tnthout 
one complaint. Consumptives, try just 
one bottle. Kegular size 75 cents. Sokl 
by all Druggists in America. *

CAN BE CONSULTED DAILV. 

Of nearly fiO j'cara' extensive practice in 
England, America, and Australia. Ho 
cxti-acts polypus and cancer witliout tlie 
ufie of tlie knife wlien taken in time. Dr. 
Jamesis tho di.scoverer of a medicine whicli 
cures all local uiieumatic pai.sh as soon 
APPLIED. DR.JAMESis inpn.s.session of 
medicines tliat never failed to stoi) and 
cure DiPTUEKiA, Smallpox, Cuoup and 
all Feveks in a few hours. N. B. — Mrs. 
James, midv.-ife t)f" long experience and 
successful pnicticc in this city, is open to 
engagement. 

Yestbbday whilst walking round to scu 
the various stoics and tho good things in 
tJiem wo noticed in i)articular at Paiikeu's 
Maeket two hindquarters of IJecf marked, 
"RAISED AND FED BY J. Cir.EAVES, 
NICOLA A'^ALLEY. " Wo arc sure that 
such Beef cannot be equalled in any part 
of the world. Tlie size is not extraordin- 
ary, but thd enoimTJoitf amount of Fat and 
Flesh on them, with so little bono, is a 
thing to bo astonished at. Tho quarters 
can bo scon to-day by any one [jassing 
and they are worth any one's g'^ing tiiat 
far to see them * 



Dentisthv. — Dr. Cool calls attention te 
tho beautiful alluininium-lined vnleanit- 
plates for upper and lower sets. The ad- 
vantage of this work is that it is very thin, 
much stronger and lighter than the com- 
mon plate usually woi-n; .also, being a 
better conductor of heat and cold, it does 
not produce the iritation, sometimes 
caused by rubber or no'n-condueting sub- 
stances. I make these sets for .^.'Sri, some- 
thing never before done, and guarantee 
my patrons that after once wearing one of 
them they will wear no otlier. The treat- 
ment of diseased teeth and fine operating 
[ make a specialty. Teeth built up witli 
.Dure gold to their natural contour; arti- 
..cial cro\\'ns adjusted to roots in the best 
manner. Work of evciy description done 
anywhere I eng.age to do at tho most reas- 
onable prices * 

Removal. — IVIr. JTmgerman, watch 
. maker and jeweller, will reniovo to tho 
new brick building on the corner of Gov- 
ernment and Bastion streets on or about 
tho 10th inst. Mr. Jungennan has added 
largely to his stock which now presents 
increased inducements for the patron.ngo 
of his customers and the general public. *

Wo are not disposed to attach 
vory great importance to most of tlie 
utterances of the member for Cariboo — 
Capt Evans. Whilst many persons 
Mre willing to concede to him the merit 
of ■ sincerity, they cannot shut their 
eyes to the fant that ho is surprisingly 
credulous and marvelously garrulous; 
and that ho regards a dish of public 
scandal as a toothsome morsel to be 
seasoned with all the condiments, and 
to be iUlowe^to resfcois long = as it will 
;, iioW together on liis gossipy tongue be- 
fore undergoing the process of degluti- 
tion. Few will have forgotten this 
member's verbal assault on a high of- 
ficial two years ago. Because the 
official, whilst in conversation with the 
captain, quoted Walpole's familiar 
saying that "Every man has his price," 
Capt. Evans chose to imagine that he 
.Lad teen "approached," and that an at- 
tempt was being made to buy hi3 vote 
and influence in the House. It will 
be remembered also that the closing 
aeision of the last Parliament was en- 
Hvaned by a question of veracity be- 
tween the captain and a minister of 
the Gospel, from which controversy the 
honorable member emerged somewhat 
the worse for wear and tear. It was 
hoped that experience — if not age — 
would bring wisdom to the captain's 
aid, that he would learn from past dis- 
comfitures to distinguish between hard 
faotsandtliepitifulemanations of village 
gossips and scandalmongers. We find 
that we were mistaken. Pastblundprs 
have taught Capt. Evans nil. He has 
learned nothing. The frosts of many 
winters that sit like a crown on his 
venerable bead serve rather to increase 
than cool the impetuosity of earlier 
years. Ho is as ready as ever to seize 
upon the first opportunity to repeat 
Bcaadalous charges against oflicials, 
• and in accordance with that readiness on 
Monday, in moving the reply to the 
Governor's Speech, he made a grave at- 
tack on the Judiciary of the Province. 
In touching upon. the portion of the 
Speech which referred to the Bench, 
Capt. Evans is rojiorted to have charged 
in substance that the wife and daught- 
ers of a" J udge of the Province had ac- 
cepted presents from a person while 
that person was on trial before the 
husband and father. The manifest ob- 
ject of Capt. Evans was to show that 
those "presents" had been made and ac- 
cepted with a corrupt motive, and that 
they had secured the "person on trial" 
the friendship and support of the learn- 
ed judge. 

This is a very, very grave accusation. 
It is one that should never have been 
made without the fulle.st inforination 
at hand to sustain it; for if conlidcncc 
in the integrity of the Judiciary is once 

' shaken what man amongst us with a 
ri;;bteous cause could enter a court 
with the slightest hope of obtaining 

. justice when opposed by nn unprincipl- 
ed antagonitit armed with a long purse 
or costly "presents." We do not. for a 
moment believe there is an atom of 
truth to sustain the accusation; but the 
country has come, after years of e.\y)er 
ience, to repose confidence in it.s judges, 
and wherever the remarks of the mem- 
ber for Cariboo may be read a feeling 
of surprise, if not of pain, will be e.\.- 
perienced, and a demand for investiga- 
tion will he mada 

■ We have siiid that we do not attach 
much importance to the reckless utter- 
ances of the meniber for Ciiriboo on any 
subject. But in the in.stance undpr re- 
view (we mention it with regret) Capt. 
• Evans acted as the mouthpiece of the 
Government. He was put forward by 
the Government to move the address in 
reply. An address of the kind is a 
cut-and-dried affair, prepared by the 
Ministry, and generally placed in tlic 
hands of the member chosen to s]ieak 
or read to the House. Wan CapUiin 
Evans' forensiceffortof Monday acul and- 
dried document? Did it receive the ap- 
prova-i of the Government before being 
handed to him to present to the House) 
We are inclined to believe that the 
Government, although constitutionalhj 
responsible for Capt. Evans' attack on 
the Bench, were not previously cDn- 
suited as to the propriety of delivering 
what wc have no hesitation in pro- 
nouncing to be an unjustifiable and 
wanton slander upon as pure and high- 
minded a Judiciary as any in the 
■world. Capt. Evans owes it to the 
Government and the country to bring 
on his proof, if he have any, of judicial 
corruption. A charge of tlio kind 
should never be idly made ; but being 
made should not be allowed to pass 
without a demand for the evidence in 
support of it. 

[Since the above article was in t^ pe 
we learn that Ca])t. Evans yesterday 
made a qualified withdrawal in the 
Hou.so, and, as is usual with most men 
who talk too fast, questioned the cor- 
rectness of the report. Messrs. Asri, 
Smitiie, Veenon and Bennett, how- 
ever, rose immediately and asserted 
that the words as reported in The 
Colonist were used by the member, 
The copy of a letter addressed by Jlr. 
Justice Gbav to the Leader of the Gov 
ernmeht has been handed iis for publi- 
cation and will bo found elsewhere. It 
would have been but fair had the letter 
been road to the House. We may say 
that words spoken in tho House are 
not actionable; but there must surely 
be some remedy in law against slander- 
ous attacks oii families or J udges by 
members, or where will the thing end?] 



and we predict that it will not amuse 
the people. The leader of the Opposi- 
tion in ^his reply made some good 
points, and the late Chief Commission- 
er of Lands and Works was eloquent. 
The Government have a strong work- 
ing majority, therefore they have the 
power to "bo useful. Will they use 
this power for tho public good! We 
shall wait a while and watch their pro- 
ceeding with interest The general ex- 
pectation, that they will continue to 
pursue the dignified policy of doing 
nothing at all, will, wo hope, be un- 
realized. 



.Oanadian 2£all. 



WiNNiPEQ, Man., Jan. 21. — Edward 
Marston, the County Court Clerk, was 
shot by BailifT Alcllroy to-day, the 
former having refused, according to in- 
structions, to give bailifl' executions to 
Mcllroy, who tired his revolver at him. 
Tha ball struck the counter, and, glanc- 
ing off, hit Marston in tho arm, inflict- 
ing a serious wound. The doctors say 
the arm may require amputation. i\Ie- 
Ilroy has been arrested. He claims 
that the shooting was accidental, and 
and that ho was the woi-se of liquor. 

Ottawa, Jan. 17. — Tho Protectionist 
delegates from the Manufacturers' As- 
sociation have not been idle. Last 
night they were entertained at dinner 
by the Hon. ilr. Tilloy, and during the 
course of a conversation ho is credited 
with having reconmiended tho forma- 
tion of a Dominion Manufacturers' As- 
sociation. Shortly before midnight the 
delegates, having returned from the 
dinner, hold a meeting in the Russell 
House for tho jiurpose of carrying out 
tins suggestion. Among those present 
were Messrs. E. Gurney, J. Eiordon, 
W. H. Prazer, E. K. Greene, J. Patter- 
sou, J, Rankin, J. Livingstone, J. H. 
Parker, J. H. McAvity, J. A. Young, 
J. F. Stairs and R. C. W. INIcCuaig. 
After several of the gentlemen had o.k 
pressed their opinions as to the desir- 
ableness of such an organization tho 
election of officers was proceeded -with, 
as follows: President, E. Gurney, Jr., 
Toronto; 1st Vice President, E. K. 
Greene, Montreal; 2nd Vice President, 
J. 11 Bell, St. John, N.B.; 3rd Vice 
President, J. E. Stairs, Halifax, N.S.; 
1\. C. W. jMcCuaig, Secretary. The 
As.sociatiou will be decidedly protec- 
tionist in its predilections, and, as if con- 
scious of the ulterior result of protec- 
tion, it chose as I;s secretary, not a 
manufacturer, but one of the Premier's 
latest batch of oflicial assignees. To- 
day the delegation had uo formal inter- 
view with the Government, although 
Mr. Frazer conferred with the Minister 
of Finance. It is believed tho delega- 
tion will to-morrow again see the Min- 
ister of Finance and other members of 
tho Government. 



[Per Stcaniship D.-ikota.] 

Mr. Sankey, tho American Evange- 
list, has been taking part in revival 
services at Darlington, and has now 
gone to Newcastle. 
' "A happy man, one really contented 
with bis own lot and with tho present 
situation, is rarer than a white swal- 
low" in Germany at the present time, 
according to the Kreutz Zeitung, a Con- 
servative paper. 

Lord Houghton, speaking at Goole, 
.said there was nothing to' indicate that 
the present depression in trade would 
Inst long; one result of its continuance 
would be to develop the great spirit of 
energy and endurance which rested at 
t!ie heart of the British people. 

London has lately lost one of the 
greatest book collectors it ever had, in 
the person of Mr. Henry Huth, a 
wealthy merchant. Though valuing 
liis books most fondly, he was extreme- 
ly kind and unselfish in placing them 
at the service of scholars, and but a 
few months ago lent a total stranger a 
volume wliich cost him nearly a thou- 
sand pounds. 

A workman's model kitchenhns been 
opened in Glasgow, the object of which 
is to provide at a nominal price nutri- 
tious food for workingnien and their 
-families who are at present in straight- 
ened circumstances, endeavoring by 
this means, and also by distributing 
directions for cooking, to encourage a 
better and more thrifty system of home 
cookery. 

On December 2itli a whirlwind of 
extraordinary force prevailed on tiic 
northeastern side of Caithncssliire. It 
was preceded by a heavy hail shower 
and thunderstorm. Many dwelling 
houses were damaged, sheds were un- 
roofed, corn stalks were overthrown 
and jcattered to the winds, carts and 
vehicles were torn to pieces by the vio- 
l«nc» of the wind, and even a luvivy 
plough was lifted and carried adistaace 
of a dozen yards. 



2' HE REPLY TO THE SPEECH. 

Tho mover oi' the address in reply 
;c%o the Governoti's, -Speech- began witli 
long quotation ' from " the Welsh 
- language; and tho gentleman who dis- 
' charged tho duty of seconder flnisiied 
'his oration with a quotation from some 
^j'Soandinavian dialect, The whole pro- 
• ceeding was very like a bad 'comedy, 



Mrs. Stewart's Money. — Rumor 
has it that Mrs. Stewart has decided 
to dispose of her money while she is 
living, and to do it in person. This 
resolution being known has opened a 
Pandora's box. Wo have nt least one 
thousand persons in this city who 
have little schemes of their own for 
benefitting the ' race, '"They are 
sure if Mr.s. Stewart would only know 
what they aro about, and look into 
their little schemes, she wouldn't hesi- 
tate a moment to help thum along. All 
the avenues of her homo have to bo 
guarded. Her steps are tracked every- 
where, even on her' way to church. 
Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt was an- 
noyed in the same manner. When she 
married tho Commodore she had no 
more money than was absolutely essen- 
tial to her comfort. She felt keenly 
the responsibility of being the custo- 
dian of money, and knew when to give 
and when to withiiold. She was run 
down day and night by njjplication.s, 
and spoke often to her friend? of the 
impositions sho had practiced upon her, 
and the great difficulty she had in dis- 
criminating. -r^i^ejoi Y(ifk ILetler from

How Mines Get their Queer 
Names. — Names of." mines, like one's 
emotions when eating Limburger 
cheese for tho first time, are peculiar. 
Tho locator of Dry Hash probably 
showed his preference for a dish which 
is a prominent feature in a boarding- 
houso, and has a large circle of acquain- 
tances. Little Bilk leaves one to infer 
that there is a Big Bilk; in fact, on 
consideration, we concede there are a 
great many of them. Molly Darling 
shows that, although she is getting to 
be quite an old maid, she still has ad- 
mirers. Tho Fraud is no exhibition of 
human nature; the locator wanted to 
pique the pride of tho vein and spur it 
to belie its nama On inquiring of one 
miner why ho had named his claim "I 
Know All," he explained: "When I 
left tho East I left my girl there, and — 
and some trouble I had with another 
lady. When I got out here, wrote to 
my girl that I was domg .bully. That 
wasn't so, but you know how a ftUow 
will Avrite. Wrote that I expected to 
return soon and cage her in a palace. 
She answered: "I know all. Yours 
no more. Jane." Asking another why 
he chose to name his "Terror," ho re- 
replied: "For a lady." "Howl Didn't 
know tiiat was a femalo name. " " Well, 
you see, that's my wife; 8ho,s a terror. 
Left her in Gold Hill. " Tom Pike be- 
ing questioned as to his naming a lo- 
cation Joab Johnson, said, said, "That 
was my name in tho States." I asked 
tho proprietor of tho Last Chance if 
he really considered that his last chance 
for a fortune; if he failed, would ho 
try again? "No, sir; no, .sir; will go 
to robbin' tho stages." To tho man 
who was showing ino his two claims I 
remarked: "From tho name, Tho 
Treasury, you must have high hopes of 
this? "|That isn't why I named it that." 
'• Why, then?" "Thcr's nutliin' in it." 
"And this second one, Hector, you ad- 
mired the valiant Trojan?" "Named 
for my dog. Hector. He's dea«l now. 
Buricil over thnr. Come an' see his 
grave." — Salt Lake Tribune. 



El.NANCIAL StUAITS OV PuUSSIA AND 

Austria, — ^The deficit in the Prussian 
budget is .said to be no less than 73,- 

500,000 marks, and it can only be met 
by new taxes. It is proposed to in- 
crease tho revenue by moans of new 
duties on, or a government monopoly in 
tobacco, and the German Commission 
recently in this country to inspect our 
tobacco tax system was sent for the 
purpose of perfecting such changes in 
tiio German system as will yield the 
needed increase in revenue. German 
manufacturing interests aro said to iie 
suflbring from tho active competition of 
Austro-Hungary, where labor is cheap, 
and where the raw material is obtain- 
able, through tho port of Trieste, cheap- 
er than Germany can got it. Austria 
is the largest consumer of East Indian 
and Egyptian cotton, which she gets 
from Alexandria and through the 
Suez Canal by the most' direct routes. 
Tho finances of Austria are, however, 
in a much more desperate condition 
than those of Germany or Prussia, and 
the murmurs of discontent which rise 
up from Hungary and Bohemia grow 
louder every day. Tho annual interest 
upon thn Austro-Hungarian debt has 
increased 18,000,000 guilders since 
1873, and is now 96,000,000 guilders. 
Tho occupation of Bosnia and Sorvia 
requires 200,000 men, and has alrendv 
caused anexpen.soof 1-10,000,000 guild- 
ers. Tho nawspaj)ors of Pesth and 
Vienna declare that tho dual kingdom 
will be ruinod unless the occupation 
ceases. Austria's trouble is greatly 
augmented by her currency of irre- 
deemable pa I or money, which has been 
almost unmanageable for so many 
years. — Baltimore Sun. 



Not A CuAKaE fok the Better. — A 
young man in Boston received a be- 
quest of 82o,000' He had been poor, 
and the sudden ncquisitio!i of wealth 
rather turned his head. He began to 
spend tho money in reckless dissipation 
in suite of his father's efforts to restrain 
him and kept on until only §11, 000 was 
left. The father begged that this re- 
mainder might 1)0 given to him for 
.safe keeping, and tiie son, being then 
ill from long drunkcnoss, and very pen- 
itent, readily con]i)!ied. The father 
put $10,950 into a pocket in his shirt, 
and started out to spend the other §50 
in a frolic. That night he slept on a 
bench in a bar-room, and in the morn- 
ing every cent of the money was gone.

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES. 



The BRITISH COLONIST is THE only newspaper 

PUBLISHED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA THAT RECEIVES TEL- 

echaphic Dispatches. Its value as a news and ad- 
vertising MEDIUM IS THEREFORE APPARENT. 

thihd provhtoial assembly. 

' Second Session. 

TuK.si)Av, Fob. 4. 
Tlie Sjicakcr took tlio chair at 2 ii.ni. 

I'KIVILKdi;. 

Mr, Evnn.s rose to a quostimi of pi'ivi- 
lego, stating that lio h:ul buoii ruportod 
ill The Coloai.-it as accusing one of tlio 
J udges of briborj'. Thougli tlio report as 
a whole was veiy fair, yot in this instance 
it was wrong as his remark.') might have 
been applied to a .■iiipposititious c:i.su of an 
arbitrator only. Ho Inul ncvcf made a 
direct cliargo against any of tho Jiidge.s. 

Dr. Aslfsaid ho had intended to have 
requested tho lion. gontleinnn to 
read the report, which ho must' say was 
substantially correct, the only diil'eronco 
being that tho hon. gontlonian had .spoken 
of an iii'liitrator, not a Judge. Ho was 
glad tlio lion, gentlciiiiui had witlidrawu 
the olFonsive language; but at tho same 
time ho would say tho h<.;i. gentleman 
had used the langniigo iiainediately after 
stating that the Judges should ho above 
auspiciun. 

Mr. Evans s.iid lio did not withdraw 
anything at all. Ho still stated that auy 
one acting between two persons should bo 
above suspicion. 

Mr. Sinithe inovud tho adjournment of 
tlio House in order that ho might speak 
to tho question, and Kaid tho luiii. gciitlc- 
maii from Cariboo sought to idiiuld liim- 
self behind a denial of tho literal correct- 
ness of the newspaper report of what ho 
fiaid, but that was not sufficient, and 
ought not to satisfy the Houao. It was 
well understood that tho papers did not 
attomiit to give literal reports at any 
" time, and meinbora inigh!; every d;iy ri.se 
and state that tlioy li:ul ii<it u.Med the ex- 
act words atti'ibiited to them, but in the 
present instaneo tlioro was no getting 
over tlie fact tliat tlio hon. Capt. Evans 
had used languago substantially the .same 
as that reported, the moaning of which 
could only be interpreted in one w.ay. Ho 
had in tho most unmistakable manner in- 
ainuatcd that corruption existed where of 
all other places it ought not to be found, 
that is tho Supreme Court of the Province. 
Tho hon. gcntlcni:iii had been, from his 
£rst entrance to the House as a mcnibcr, 
in tho habit of inakinc; charges against 
gontlomon filling the highest oflices; 
against gentlcnien, ton, whose position j 
rendered them almost ontirely defence- i 
less against sucli outrageous attacks. He [ 
(Mr. S.) considered that the House in : 
self-defence ought to show on this occasion | 
that it rejected with loathing tho assassin- I 
like attack by demanding from the mem- 
ber for Cariboo a distinct retraction of | 
his language, or require him to mako 
good his position by openly making ii direct 
and definite charge against the party his 
insinuations were intended to injure, so 
that the matter might bo investigated and 
sifted to tho bottom. (Hear, hear.) He 
(Mr. S.)would say again, the thing should 
not be allowed to rest with Capt. Evans' 
denial of tho correctness of The Culoni.tt's 
report. Ho ought to repeat wlintlio real- 
ly did aay, and then in a manly manner 
retract it or else substantiate his charge 
80 that a rigid enquiry ni:iy bo instituted, 
and corruption bo unearthed or innocence 
vindicated. (Hear, hear). 

Mr. Vernon said if tlio report was 
incorrect tho hon, gentlcin.an sliould rise 
and explain in what particular it was so, 
for as far as ho eould remember the re- 
port was a very fair one. The question 
at present was ono of .adjournment, hut 
ho hoped hon. gentlomoii would waive 
thoir privilege and domaiid a thorougli e.x- 
planation as it was a most imiiortant mat- 
ter and one in which both sides of the 
House were equally interested. If the 
languago attributed to him was incorrect, 
he trusted Uie hon. gentleman would at 
onco state to tho House what ho really 
did s.iy, and either distinctly retract the 
imputation or inform tho House to which 
judge he referred. Had tho .\ttorney- 
Gcnoral been in his place at the time he, 
no doubt, would h.ave checked the hoii. 
gentloman in his remarks and protected 
the judges from such unwarrantable in- 
sults. 

Hon. Mr. Walkcm said ho was not in 
tlio H0U.SO at the time and so could not 
say whether tho rcpoit wa.s correct or not; 
but the lion, gentleman had denied this, 
while other lion, gentlemen opposite 
had stated that there could be no doubt 
OB to what ho meant. Ho had received a 
letter from Ml-. Justice Gr.ay calling for 
an oxplaniition and he was glad tho hon. 
gentleman had now given it; but aa to 
whether what the hon. gentlemen oppo- 
site s!ud was correct or not, ho must leave 
in Mr. Evans' own hands. 

Mr. Bennett said he had ho:ird the hon. 
gentleman yesterday with iiidignation. 
Though tho report was not literally cor- 
rect yot it was subslantially so, for he 
left no doubt in hon. gentleman's minds 
but that ho rofon-cd to ono of tho judges 
and he thought the House should demand 
a full and explicit denial of what had 
taken ])laco. 

Mr. Wilson hoped tho Imn. mcuiber for 
Cariboo would tat 6 no furtlier notice 
of tho matter. 

Mr. Druminond said The CWunist paper 
lied, for it said Mr. Evans commenced 
.Mb speech aMid laughter. 

Hon. Mr. Beavbnilaid on the tabic tho 
public accounts to SlstDeo., 1878. 

Hon. Mr. Humphreys'laid on tho table 
a list of voters. 

Hon. Mr. Walkom laid on the table 
railway dispatches and a letter from Mr. 
Scott dated Juno, 1870, concerning the 
Biite Inlet route, which had never been 
laid before the House, but suppressed by 
the late Government. 

Mr. Sniithe asked tho hon. gentloman 
when and where the suppression h.id 
taken place? • 

Mr, Walkom said tlio dispatch was 
received by tho lato Government. 

Mr. Smithe said it had been suppressed 
by tho present Government, in that it was 



only received a few days before tho Elliott 
Government went out of ofhccj and had 
been left for the incoming Govemmont to 
deal with, as itwasnot considered right for 
a defeated Governineiitto''d^int^.B^i'°' 
portant a subjecf^when the new Govern- 
ment would assume power in a, few d.ays. 
It was known that tho present Govern- 
ment acted on these dispatches and ha 
thought that they were to blame for the 
suppression. 

Mr. Walkom said the hon. gentloman 
was mistaken, for the' dispatch produced 
was received by 'Mr. Trutch and a copy 
sent to tho E.\ecutivo Council on tho 4th 
July, 1870. Tho dispatch was oven with- 
held from Mr. Humphreys, who w>as then 
in tho Ministry. This had iiovor boon 
published oven in Canada itself. 

Hon. Mr. Humphreys said that though 
a member of tlio Ministry at the time lie 
had never soon the dispatch till a few daj-s 
si.nce. 

Mr. Vernon said that this was a most 
important matter and thought that a com- 
mittee should bo appointed to investigate 
it. If any ono w;is to blamo for its sup- 
pression ho could not but think that it 
must bo tho hon. gentloman who had just 
sat down, iis ho was at the time, olork of 
the Executive Council and therefore re- 
sponsible for all documents brought down 
to tho Council. 

Hon. Mr. Walkeiu said the hon. gentle- 
man could draw up a committeo at onco. 

Mr. Smithe said that he referred to a 
later document and was not aware of tho 
oxistonco of the ono now ijroduccd, which 
ho had mistaken for one of ;i later d:ito. 
Tho clerk of tho E.xocutivo Council at the 
time was tho Hon. Mr. Ilumphroys and 
he would be responsible for all documents; 
ho would receive it from tho Lieutenant- 
Governor and present it to his colloaguos 
and would again, after that, become tho 
responsible custodian. 

Dr. Ash said ho would like to hear the 
hon. member for Yido, wiio w.a.s in tlio 
Government at the time, state that he 
had never soon the dispatch. 

Mr. Vernon said that as far as lie eould 
recollect ho had never seen tho document 
before. Every document that he oversaw 
had been seen by Jlr. Ilumphroys and all 
the other members of the Executive. As 
far as the doounient w.as concernod ho 
saw notiiing in it to warrant any Govcrn- 
iiieiit siipiiressing it and tluiught that tho 
Provincial Secretary Blioiild refrain from 
further discussion uu this till a cuaunitlco 
should enquire into it and report. As tho 
House w.a3 desirous of knowing whether 
any suppression had taken place or not he 
would move tluit tho following bo ap- 
pointed a coniniittee of enquiry: Mes.srs. 
Ash, Bennett, Abranis, Harris and Wilson. 

jMr. Wilson seconded tho motion, as ho 
considered tho dispatch a moat important 
one. ' * 

Hon. Mr Boavon said that~in August, 
1870, it was rumored that nn important j 
dispatch had been received by the Gov- 
ernment and a deputation which waited 
on the leader of tho Government to ascer- 
tion whether such was tho case, were in- 
formed that no dispatch had been receiv- 
ed. It was a peculiar fact that this docu- 
ment had been suppressed by both tho 
Provinciiil and Dominion Governments. 

Hon. Mr. Ilumplueys said it was not 
conceivable that so important a document 
should bo forwarded to him and that ho 
should withhold it from his colleagues. 
Ho regretted tiiat any imputation or slur 
had been cast on him for ho had stated 
point bl.ank that ho li.id never soon the 
document. 

The motion was carried and tho House 
.adjourned till 2 p.m. Wednesday. 

NOTICE.S. 



Tho Judiciary. 



The following letter has been addressed 
by tho Hon. Justice Gray to the leader 
of the Govuniinent, but was not read in 
Hou.so yesterday: -- 

YicTOULV, I'ob. 4th, 187'.'. 

Sm:— My attention h;i3 been called to 
tho following passage in the speech of 
Capt. Evarm, ono of the moiabers from 
Cariboo, as reported in T/ie Colonint news- 
paper, made yesterday in tho Houso, in 
moving the address in reply to tho Speech 
from the Throne, namely: 

."Referring to prison discipline ho was 
glad to find that the Chinese were now de- 
prived of their queues. It w.as to be re- 
gretted that tho Chinese Act of last ses- 
sion had not been left for tho decision of 
the Dominion Govemmont and not have 
been allowed to bo quashed by Judges 
here; but this would bo reinodied shortly. 
The Judges here should bo above sus- 
picion, and what must tho people think 
when the wife and daughters of a Judgo 
who is trying a ciise is allowed to receive 
presents from the person on trial; this 
should not bo and he trusted would bo 
stopped," 

' As the observations appear connoctod 
with tho Cliineso Question — and I am the 
only Judge of the Supremo Court before 
whom th.at question lias been brought, 
and who adjudged the Bill referred to to 
bo unconstitutional — the other two Judges 
being in no way responsible for my acts 
or decisions — have to request you, as 
the leader of the House, to put in tho 
Houso to-day the distinct categorical 
question — whether I ain tho ,Tudgo re- 
ferred to, and whether the allegation 
therein contained has any roferencq to 
my family, at the same time demanding a 
statement of tho circumstances. 

If tliat assertion be true it is tho duty 
of tho Legislature to call upon tho Domin- 
ion Govoriiineiit for my iniuiediato dis- 
missal. It it 1)0 untruo — aiul 1 pronounce 
it an unqualified falsehood — then in the 
interest of the public it should bo at onco 
contradicted and withdrawn. 

I pray you that there bo nothing equiv- 
ocal or private either in the demand or 
reply; but that you will li.avo both made 
.as public as the utateincnt lias been. 

I :un. Sir, 
Your Obedient Servant, 

J. H. Gbay, 
Judge of tho Supremo Court.

Important Motioaa. 

Mr. Smithe will move the following re- 
solutions to-day in the House : — 

Whereas, oontnu^ to the pledge of the 
Leader of tho Government last Session, 
tlio "Land Act Amendment Act, 1878," 
has been api>licd in cases of lands held by 
pro-emption. 

And whereas it is contrary to the letter 
and .spirit of all previous Land Acts to 
charge an usurious rate of interest upon 
tho unpaid purchase money of tho hold- 
ings of actual settlors, and contrary also 
to tho spirit which ha.s over characterised 
the legislation of the country with refer- 
once to tile Crown Lands of the Province, 
settlement upon which it has been the 
especial aim and endeavor of each succes- 
sive Legislature since Confederation to 



FiRK AT McNeim.'.s Point. — A lire 
j broke out between 11 and 1 o'clock on 
I Monday niijht in the house erected by the 
lato Capt. Wm. If. McNeill on his property 
I at Shoal Ray, and before assistance could 
be rendered the building was totally de- 
stroyed. Some Indians had been en- 
camped near tho property recently, and 
.as tlioy left siiddpnly that night it is sup- 
posed that they left behind them tho rem- 
nants of their camp'firo without properly 
e.xtiiigui.shing the same, and that with the 
assistance of a strong lireezo which was 
blowing at tho time the llamca were com- 
inunioatod to tlie house and thus caused 
the conflagration. Dr. Kibbe and family 
were to have taken possession of the 
house yesterday and had even sent on a 
quantity of furniture, etc., before it was 
known that the houso had boon destroy- 
ed. There was no insurance on the 
building, wjiich cost between $G00O and 
87000 when first built. 



"Supprossod."' 

A dispatch from the Ottawa Govern- 
ment, dated Juno, 1870, and addressed 
to the then Lieut.-Oovernor (Mr. Trutch) 
was laid before tho House by ilr. Walkem 
yesterday. Mr. Walkom remarked that 
it had boon "Suppressed by the.Iato Gov- 
ernment." All the members of tho lato 
Government present (including Mr. Hum- 
phreys) denied having had any knowledge 
of tho existence of the dispatch prior to 
yesterday, and a committeo was struck on 
motion of I\Ir. Vernon. The dispatch re- 
quested tho B. C. Government to convey 
certain lands for a lino of railway to be 
constructed from Fort George to Yollow- 
liead Pass. Tho request was not complied 
with. The dispatch would s'ocin to indi- 
cate that it was then the intention of tho 
Dominion Govoi-nmont to bring tho rail- 
way fici Bute Inlet. As tho dispatch has 
slumbered in tho Lieut. -Governor's desk 
since June, 1870, it would be well to com- 
munieato with the cx-Liout. -Governor by 
telegraph on tlio subject before the com- 
mitteo shall have made its report. Mr. 
Trutch probably received tologniphic in- 
struction from the Ottawa Government of 
a change of intention on the jiart of the 
Federal authorities, and was directed to 
withhold the paper. 

Ministors Coming. 

It i.i stated that two or more of tho Ca- 
nadian Ministry will visitBritish Columbia 
early next suinmor. Hon. H. L. Laiige- 
vin, C.B. , wlioso visit in 1871 will be re- 
called with pleasure by most of our 
readers, will probably be ono of tho hon- 
(U'able gontlomon who will take a peep at 
tho Pacific Province. Mr. Laiigeviii was 
heartily wclcoinod on the occasion of liis 
first visit, as ho is a tried and true friond 
of the Province, and his return would bo 
hailed with satisfaction.

Social. — The Presbyterian social last 
night was a success. The music, vocal 
and instrumental, was first-class. A bur- 
loaquo on " Lord Ullin's daughter," by 
J. Stewart, was well dono and "Tho 
Stage-Strnck Hero " by the same gentle- 
man attracted the attention of tho critics 
and they applauded. But the acting of 
the charado created roars of laughter. 
Mr. Gray, tho guardian, a voiy proDcr 
old gentloman; Miss Bussoll, tho ward, 
an elegant young lady; and tho lover, Mr. 
Ui)rmaii; the maid. Miss Bowden. The 
old m:ui in love ma(l« a great fool of him- 
self and was laughed at l)y the audience, 
who enjoyed his misfortune thoroughly, 
Tho young lady jdayed her part inimit- 
ably. Tho recitation from " Tell " would 
bo considered good in any other place, 
but its merit was completely eclipsed by 
the old man's folly and the young woman's 
vanity. Tho merry laughter of tlio au- 
dience was a sure sign of approval. 

Mauine. — The steamer Emma, on 
Monday night, towed the schooners Isa- 
bella and Black Diamond up to Nanaimo 

for coal for the atoamsliii) Dakota. Tljo 
steamer Alexander arrived yesterday from 
Nanaimo with tho bark Hecla laden with

Adulterations. 



F,DIT0U Colon I.ST: -In a late issue 
of your p:ipcr I notice an article on 
adulteration. How far it in.ay apply 
to Victori:i, of cour.se I am umiblo to 
say; but I find it alnio.st irnpoasible 



Tni; rolurtis of rovonuo and expendi- 
ture for tho five months ending December 
31at, 1878, were laid before tho Houso by 
tho Fin.ancc ^Minister yertterday. The 
revenue received from all sources save 

that of the Subsidy (why ia not that item 

encourage and foster to the utmost de- j inoludedi) was.?l08,484.14. Thoexpond- 
grco ; I I'm'o was §278,840,35. But how Large a 

And whereas it is undoubted that the sum is tho Government owing on running 
charge of 2'1 per cent, per annum interest ' accciunts? 



when the great interest at prcBont being e't'ier to procure good cod'eo or good 
taken in the .above subjects throughout coal oil, both of which articles ore 
the world is considered, there is very used oxtonsively in this city ; the iium- 
littlo doubt l)iit that tho atteiidanco will ber of things adulterated aro too nuin- 
very large. erouR to mention, but it i.s about time 

tliat weiglit.s, measures and aduUorn- 
tioiis should bo looked after. I think 
this community has .sulTored enough 
from such swindling in times past. 

Timor. 



on lands will result in many hnnn fnh' .set 
tiers being compelled to forfeit luddings 
which they have occupied and cultivated 
for years, and improved to tho extent of 
hundreds, and, in some instances, thou- 
sands of dollars ; 

And whereas the measure, so far as it 
affects all holders of Crown Lands other 
than speculators, is arbitrary and unjust ; 

Be it therefore resolved. That this 
Houso is strongly of opinion that tho pro- 
visions of the several Land Actn previous 
to 1878 aro amply Bufliciont to secure the 
Government and country against loss in 
tho ca.se of ,all actual settlors rosidingupon 
and legally holding unpaid for Crown 
Lands, and that thoroioro no interest 
ought to be charged upon tho unpaid pur- 
chase money of lands held by pre-emp- 
tion, or upon lands actually occupied, 
cultivated and improved by bona fide set- 
tlors. 

That, inasmuch as tho "Assessment 
Act Amondment'Act, 1878," aro, in their 
provisions, generally tyrannical .and op- 
pressive, and inasmuch as they boar par- 
ticularly and specially upon the poor and 
struggling members of tho community 
who for no other reason than that becauso 
of their poverty, they are un.ablo to p.ay 
their taxes for tho year in advance, aro 
compelled to p.ay .an exsessivcly higher 
rate of taxation than those more favora- 
bly circumstanced : " 

Bo it therefore resolved, That thi.s 
House strongly objects to tho continued 
oper.ation of the Acta in question, and do- 
m.ands that they bo repealed or modified 
BO far as to entirely remove the objection- 
able features referred to in the preamble 
of this ruBolution. , ..^ ' _ . „, ' 

Important IIuiioe. — It is r'eporied that 

the Local House will not bo prorogued — 
but will bo adjourned from time to time 
— until some definite answer has been re- 
ceived on the Separation re.solution of last 
session. At least, such is said to bo the 
purport of a round-robin to be served on 
the Government — who had planned a 
short session— by their supporters.

EUROPE, 

London, Fob. 4.- — -A dispatch from 
Paris reports spoci.al precautions against 
the plaguo aro being taken at I\lar- 
sailles and other southern points. 

A Paris dispatch says the composi- 
tion of the new cabinet, as given on 
Monday evening, shows it is organized 
with the hope of securing a durable 
majority The new members arc 
Senator Leroyer, Jlinister of Justice, 
Deputy Lepire, Minister of ConinuTco, 
and J ulcs Ferry, i\Iinister of Education. 
Tho now cabinet will be gazetted on 
Wednesday. It is expected that it 
will meet the Cliandier.s with the same 
programme which Dufauro ])rcseiited. 
It a|)pears probable it will resist a gen- 
eral amnesty and the return of the 
Chambers to Paris. In reference to 
the impeachment scheme a correspon- 
dent doubts from tho tone of the radi- 
cals wliether resistance would be suc- 
cessful. Dufaure was urged at coun- 
cils hold on Monday and Friday of last 
week to rsmain in ofliue. He altered 
his deterniiiiatioii on Saturday when 
ho saw by the numbers who called upon 
him pretending to dissuade him from 
it, or congratulating him on his retire- 
inont, that he was considered an im- 
licdimcnt to the ambition of others, 
Waddington sincerely wished that he 
■would remain.

Presence of Mind. — An instance of 
the great value of ]iresenco of mind was 
shown ill a church near Newcastle, 
England, tlic other day. The curato 
had just begun his sermon, ■when tho 
vicar suddenly arose, interrupted him 
and pronounced the benediction. The 
people went out, wondering what was 
the cause of the sudden closing of the 
service. It soon transpired that tho 
heating flue.s had .set firo to the organ 
loft, and that the vicar's prompt and 
coinjiosed action had prevented a disas- 
trous panic. 

King Tiieodoiie'h Son. — The son of

comes a descendant of tho Queen of 
Sheba, He likes his English life, ad- 
mitting that a spring-niattrcss and nil 
ulster in London are ])refer.able to a 
mat and bare legs and a blanket in 
Abyssinia. 

A Reasonable Guess. — A Romor- 
villo school teacher, wishing to impart

the question, "What is that, Hattie I' 
" Dai's Santy Claws, I dess," was the 
reply. The teacher did not probe the 
matter further.

that Dr. .1. CoLi.i.'i IIiiowxk was umloubtcdly the in- 
ventor of CiiLOiioiiv.vK ; that the Btory of the defen- 
dant, Freeman, bcin;; the inventor was deliben\toly 
untrue, which be ri'K'rctted had been sworn to. Eni- 
inent hospital physicians of London stated that Dr. 
J . Collis llrov.-ne was the discoverer e( Chlorodj'ne ; 
that they prescribe it largely, and mean no other 
than Dr. Browne's.— See Tihieii, Juljf, I2,'1804.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE. 



REMEDIAL USES AND ACTION. 

Tills Invaluable remedy produces quiet, rofresbing 
sleep, relieves pain, calms the systcni, restores the 
deranged functions, and stimulates liealthy action ot the 
secretionsof the body, without creating any of those 
unpleasant results attending the use of opium. Old 
and young may take It at ^11 hours and times when re- 
quisite. I'housand ol persons testifly to its marvellous 
good cSectsand wonderful cures, while m(^ical men 
extol its virtues most extensively. 

CHLORODYNE Is admitted by Iho profession to 
be the most wonderful and valiuible remedy ever dis- 
covered. 

CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for 
conf,'hH, conBUmi>lion, Inoncliitiy, asthma. 

CHLORODYKE cireetnally chcebs and arrests 
those toooften fatal ilibc^ses— diphtheria, fever, troup, 
ague. 

CHLORODYNE ait.'< like a charm in diarrhoiO, 
and is the only sjiecillc in cholera and dysentery. 

CHLORODYNE qflcetually cuts short all attacks 
of epilepsy, hysteria, palpitations and spasms. . 

CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in neura- 
lgia, rheumatism, gout, cancer, toothav)ie, menin- 
gitis, &e, ■■ •-■ 
EXTRACTS FROM JIEDIOAL OPINIONS. 

Tlic Ri^ht lion. Fjirl Russell communicated to tho 
CoIlcKc of Physicians and J. T. Davenport, that he 
had received nifojinatinn to tbe effect that tho only 
remedy of anv service In Cholera was CuLouODViiB. 
.Vee i,(!n«(,Dec.-DI, ISftl. 

From A. l^Iontgomery, Esq., 'late luspectorotr Hos- 
pitals, Bombay.— "CilLORODVNE Is a mdst valuable re 
iuc<ly In Neuralgia, Asthma, and Dysentery. To It I 
fairly owe my restoration to liealth, after eighteen 
months' severe suffering, and when other rcmcrlios 
had failed." ' . i , , 

Dr. Lowe, Medical Missionary . In Indiai- reports 
(Dceember, UOS] that in nearly every cose of Cholera 
In which Dr. J. Collis Browne's Ciilorodtke was ad- 
ministered, the patient recovered. 

Extract from the General Board of Health, London, 
as to Its cflloaey in Cholera.— "So strongly are we con- 
vinced of the immense value of this remedy, that we 
cannst too forcibly urge the neccfsity of adopting It 
In all cases." 

See leading article. Pharmaceutical Journal, Aug. 
1, ISGO, which states, that Dr. J. Collis Browne was 
the inventor of Chlorodyne ; that it is- aln-ays. right 
to use his prcpatntlon when Chlorodyno Is ordered.
